David Hemmings who portrayed the gallant Captain in Tony Richardson's film, was clearly impressed by him as he named his son Nolan, who then went on to portray Sgt. Chuck Grant in Band of Brothers.
It appears he was quite a talented officer and was rapidly promoted into staff positions in India, after making a bit of a name for himself in the Austro-Hungarian army. I did wonder if the "post-mortem blame heaping" at his door was a result of his Indian connections; not sure exactly when, but at some point around this time it became the norm to only allow the top 10% of each year at Sandhurst to apply to the Indian Army - post-Mutiny perhaps?

Very smart.
I must say, I'm very much warming to bigger bases with lots of figures.
